Hi, I'm new today! I've had CRPS II in my right hand and arm for 5 1/2 years. It spread up to my neck and into left hand also, but not as severe. Haven't been able to work in over 3 years. Didn't get diagnosed and treated for 3 years. Had several Stellate Ganglion Blocks that REALLY helped calm down my pain for a couple of years, as long as I limited my aggravating activities etc. Then, I broke a finger on my worse hand (right) early August and I went into a MAJOR flare in both arms. Lyrica has been working great, but I nearly had a car accident due to not being able to "think straight".

I cut back on the Lyrica as soon as flare began to let up in November. Now I'm doing better than I have in a long time! Which is great, EXCEPT I'm finally being sent to a Neurologist (thru work comp) tomorrow, and it seems I have very little symptoms!

Has anyone else gone into some sort of a "spontaneos remission" for a little while, then get bad again?

Thanks for any input or suggestions for this appointment!

Denise
